Mr. Obama, Stop Blaming Bush

The AP took a hard look at Barack Obama's statements on his 100 day celebration and found that the president is playing fast and loose with the facts:
WASHINGTON (AP) - "That wasn't me," President Barack Obama said on his 100th day in office, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on Day One.

It actually was him - and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years - who shaped a budget so out of balance.

And as a presidential candidate and president-elect, he backed the twilight Bush-era stimulus plan that made the deficit deeper, all before he took over and promoted spending plans that have made it much deeper still.
There's a lot more fact-checking here.
